MANCHESTER UNITED have been told that they will need to stump up £16m to land Wesley Sneijder from Galatasaray this summer.

At 30 he has had a fantastic World Cup and, after the most boring and ultimately fruitless summer of rumour two years ago Sneijder could be back on the radar.

With Louis van Gaal at the helm it’s not inconceivable that Manchester United could make another move for a player who recently said:

“I am happy at Galatasaray. I have established myself at the club and have settled in.

“However, if Van Gaal were make me an offer I would have to at least consider it.

Now the Galatasaray chairman has moved to clarify the situation regarding any potential transfer. This statement may be a warning to suitors or could be read as an indirect way of putting a player, who has 104 caps for Holland, on the market.
